[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to freak out any junior parents but my kid who got into their first choice ivy is now insisting on a gap year. School is allowing it but we have to decide soon. I don’t like the gap year idea but kid is being incredibly stubborn. Some of kid’s friends are seriously considering a gap year too. What a mess![/quote] NP here. This is interesting. I had a talk with a mom of two seniors today, and they were thinking about it too, but she said she's leaning toward having them go. She doesn't want them around the house another year, playing video games, and she thinks that it will be hard for them to get jobs, because there are so many older more experienced people now that need jobs. If I may ask, 1) Does your kid have to apply to receive a gap year, or just ask and get it? 2) What would your kid be doing during that year? [/quote]
